Developer Profit?

Would a current developer who wouldn't mind sharing some info let me know how much approx they make from selling scripts bots on here? You could just PM me some info as well. I'm thinking of developing scripts bots while I'm stuck at home with a broken foot and would love to get some info on it being worth it or not.

The basic rundown is:
Free - Speaks for itself
Supporter - Generally better than a free bot, if you want higher quality bots, tip a little to the site. Some authors also use this to moderate how many people can use their bots, as high demand bots draw A LOT of idiotic/useless reports from leechers
Premium - Gotta be damn near perfect.

As far as I can see, there is only one premium bot on the SVN currently then, unless for some reason I can't see the rest on my account. That's a lot less than I expected haha.

I would put the time into some nice premium scripts bots if it seems worth it, but the price of the only one there is only 4 cents/hour. Which I guess is decent if you had a few dozen people using it at all times. I do like how easy it is to submit bots here however.

I am confident in my ability to make a premium script bot, but I want to know it is worth it

Thanks for the replies!

Also what are the rules against bots? Like what bots are we not allowed to make and release?

Depends, if you make a solid bot which doesn't require too much maintenance, it's essentially free money once it's on the store.

If you end up scripting for Runemate You should consider Programming a 'Waterfiend' script bot, That has the following features;

- Full Banking
- Death Walking
- Death failsafes
- Anti-ban Features

I'd happily pay 4c/hr for it. There is potential to make alot of money from runemate premium scripts bots, I guess people don't have enough time to be dedicated enough to Constantly Update there scripts bots,

There were more premium bots on the store, but the authors took them down as they felt that they fell below premium standards, as opposed to keeping a sub-par premium bot on the store. Premium bots do go through a pretty strenuous quality check, but it's not too bad.
Personally, making premium bots is worth it, but it does require time and dedication. I'll probably start making some soon
By all means, tinker around a bit, and if you want some feedback I'll be happy to give some when time allows
